GARMENT-BAG.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dee. 28, 1920.

Application filed May 11, 1920. serial No. 380,442.

` ment bags, and has for its main object the provision of such a bag which will successfully exclude the entry of moisture and dust, as well as moths, into the bags when the same are closed and contain clothing for storage.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the description below, in which n characters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawings.

Referring briefly t0 the drawings, Figure '1 is a front elevational view of my bag,

partly in section.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. et is an enlarged view of the clotheshanging device contained within the bag.

Referring now in detail to the drawings,

the numeral l represents the bag generally, composed of a pair of side members 2 and 3 joined around their closed edges by a closed flap 4. The edge of the bag indicated at 5 is the one through which the clothing may be inserted or withdrawn, and the only one which may be opened. The inner surface of the edge of each of the members 2 is at that portion lined with a strip f felt or the like 2a, these strips being pressed together when the bag is closed and thus presenting a moisture and moth-proof closure.

Along the outer edge of each of the members 2 at the edge 5 are attached clasp hooks 6 about which a cord 7 is wound in order to close the bag. The whole bag may be susv attached to the hook through the intermediate metal cap 9. On the underside of the top of the said bag below said cap 9, lies a metallic support 9a having bayonet slots 13 therein as shown. A depending support 11aL extends from one end of the member 9, and a hooked-shaped member 10a is pivotally attached thereto at 11. The hanger 10 is pivotally attached at one end to the member l0d at 14, the hanger being formedas shown and having a hooked-end 12 adapted to 'engage the bayonet slot 13, in which the same, as is apparent, may be inserted so as to prevent its falling therefrom. TWO -such hangers are Shown. j

In use, the bag is first opened, the end l2 is disengagedl from the slot 13 and drawn downward so that' a suit or other article of clothing may be passed over the bent portion of the member 10 and 'onto the-horilzontal portion thereof, whence the end 12 is again inserted into the slot 13. Then the cord 7 is wound about the hooks 6 and the bag tightly closed for storage.

I claim:

Ina garment bag, a hanger comprising a cap in the upper portion of said bag, a support depending from said cap, a bayonet slot in one lend of said support having the open end of said slot substantially horizontal, a

member rigidly attached to the other end of said support and depending therefrom, a hook-shaped member pivotally attached to said irst member, a second hook-shaped member pivotally attached to said lirst hookshaped member, the free end of said second hook-shaped member being curved into substantially the form of an S, said curved end being adapted to lit into said bayonet slot.

Signed at .New York in the county of'N ew York and ,State of New York this 5th day of May, A. D. 1920.
